Dance with me, elegant shadow!
take my warm fingers into your cool palm,
dance with me, dance with me, shadow!
across the moonlit lawn

Dance with me, bright-eyed shadow,
and spin me through the pale light
of the clock-face and star-falls
of the first autumn night

Dance with me, fleet-footed shadow!
Let the music be our guide,
let the notes of the bat-calls keep ringing
as they flit beneath the sky

Star-strewn, it glitters
blackened, and bright

Light reaches slender fingers to the ground
Slipping across the rough surface,
Sliding down the sides of buildings.
Shadows move, ghostly dances
In her silvery light.

Glistening across the still water
Light spreads over the dew dusted grass,
Rippling as the trees sway in the wind.
White light dances over dark windows
Giving life to sad shadows...

Her moonlight brings the night to life,
Illuminating woods, bringing
Light to the dark...
Protecting and guiding weary wanderers
With her pale gaze.
